Samsung Galaxy S21+ Plus 5G, 128GB, Phantom Silver - Unlocked (Renewed)

Awesome phone, looks new and works perfectly.

This phone was in like new condition. No marks, scratches or blemishes. Almost full battery life (one of the reasons I purchased this phone is because it has 4800 mAh and none of the iPhones I reviewed had anything that close). Battery life was one of my main features I wanted. Came in a white box, nicely package but it came with an iPhone charging cable instead of the USB C cable. No big deal to me because I had ordered extra cables (I put one in all my cars). I contacted the seller who responded in less than 12 hours and had already shipped me another one. I also did not have to return the iPhone cable. Also, there are at least two reviews done on this phone in 2023 on YouTube letting you know it was still a phone worth purchasing. It was very easy to have it switched from the iPhone to the Samsung. I just went into the Verizon store and they did it for me. None of my pictures transferred so make sure you save them which I did before taking it in. The only down side, which I expected. was I had to load all my apps again. But it was so much easier to create folders and add apps to the folder verses the iPhone. I loaded all my apps first. Than created my folders, than when the folder was created there was a + (plus) sign, when you clicked on it than it took you to a list of all your apps (in alphabetic order), than you just clicked on all the apps you wanted to add to that folder and they were added all at once. Unlike my iPhone which I had to drag every apps individually to the folder. I had always had an android until my last phone which was an iPhone. It was a 6s plus so it tells you I had plenty of time to learn it. Went back to an android. Main reason is because pictures are so much easier to move from folder to computer and better battery life. Half my family have Androids and half have iPhone. One reason I was hesitant about switching back is because of Air Drop but Samsung has Private Share that works the same. So it will just be like before. I can share with half my family and half I won't be able to. Plenty of YouTube videos showing how to use it. Creating folders was the hardest to find. Fresh Manuals has manuals you can down load for the phone. A side note: Took me forever to figure out how to create a folder. What you do is make sure you have two apps for that folder on the home page. Than all you do is drag one on top of the other. How to drag apps is just hold your finger on the app.

Works perfectly. And came quickly for a great replacement phone

I’m extremely disappointed with this purchase. From the moment I started using the phone, it would overheat to an alarming degree, even with very light use. Within a short time, the heat became so intense that the screen actually began to lift and separate from the body of the device. This is not just a minor defect — it’s a serious safety concern. Based on what I experienced, I strongly suspect the battery was faulty or compromised, which likely caused the overheating and physical damage. I returned the phone expecting a straightforward refund, but it was denied, which is very frustrating considering the condition of the product. I did not misuse the device in any way; the issue was present from the start. I would not recommend this product at all. Buyers should be cautious, as this could pose a potential hazard. It’s also completely misleading to claim that this phone comes factory unlocked. In my experience, that was not true at all. The device was still locked to a carrier, and I was told I would need to go through my carrier and pay a fee or meet their requirements just to get it unlocked. That defeats the whole purpose of buying an “unlocked” phone in the first place and feels very deceptive for customers expecting full compatibility out of the box.

So I've had my phone for about 3 days and I do love it. I've been apart of the samsung family since the s5 I upgraded from the 10 plus to the 22 plus and it's amazing but this phone was supposed to come in excellent condition but it is not. Little scratches on the screen and on the sides of the phone. I put a screen protector and a case around it so you can't tell but I'd say my phone is in good condition. Just wish people were honest about their products. Other than the scratches phone is fully unlocked and all features work as they should. Battery life is pretty good too.

The phone looked like a brand new phone. I have been using it for about 6 months and so far I have not had any problems with it. The battery last about 2 days with a lot of usage. Overall it has great signal and sound quality.

I took a chance on a refurbished phone and all my fears were settled. It works like new. And I don't have to pay a higher monthly phone bill

I bought this phone to replace my older LG phone. I can say overall it is a great phone. The positives are too many to mention. The only two things I am not happy with are small, but still a bit irritating. I have found that the face recognition is spotty at best, and the music player has a limited amount of formats that it will support. I found when I had downloaded my library into it, most of my newer music would not play. I had to convert them all to MP3 to make them play. I thought it was funny that my much older LG would support them, but not this one. That being said it is overall a great phone, and very dependable. I would highly recommend it to anyone and have had several people buy them also.

Phone quality is very good and one issue back side the glass sticker not proper fixed

The phone is good, No damage within the screen or body itself, the battery is unfortunately nonoriginal which is causing the phone to sometimes overheat, keep in mind the amazon listing says the CPU of the phone is an A8 Cortex, I checked myself and it is thankfully a Snapdragon 888 the better CPU, if you are planning on purchasing a refurbished phone, expect phone parts to be nonoriginal.

Phone arrived in excellent condition with no scratches but the display had some white glowing around its side whenever i opened a dark screen and had burn ins. The ultrawide camera was also scratched up from the inside and its affecting the photos and videos. Phone is also lagging sometimes. Samsung Pay does not work with UAE Banks on US Phone by the way (just for information) Missed the return deadline and now need to wait and pay extra for warranty. I went to their office to fix the device and it was closed. Agent gave me the wrong location also.

Once i set it up and logged in the phone, i started getting extreme stutters on 120 hz and had to change to 60 hz for less sttuers, phone also had alot of display artifacts which is crazy. pretty sure the screen is a replacement but a bit expensiver one as its amoled but its bezels are difference and the screen it self couldnt handle 120hz Update 2: 11/1/24. i got a new one, i returned and bought another one. This time there is no stutters but the display is 60hz and 60hz only unfortunatley. they cant get their screens right.

I found the camera quality very bad, more than my old samsung galaxy note 20 which i found disturbing. I was shocked by the quality and blur in videos. Not worth it if u can't take acceptable photos, in my opinion.
